born August 19, 1934, in Augusta Georgia, to the late Moses

At an early age, he received Jesus Christ as his personal
Lord and Savior and was baptized at Springfield Baptist

On June 12, 1954, he married his high school sweetheart,
Shirley M. Harley and to this union, two (2) children were
bom Moses Anthony and Shirley Elizabeth.
As a young man he had a love for music, writing and for
playing the piano, along with forming musical groups.
After relocating to Atlantic City, NJ he was drafted into the
United States Army in 1957. On completion of his tour of
duty he and his wife established themselves in New York,
NY. He followed his love for music, by becoming the road

Tex, also Mr. Solomon Burke.
It was during this time, he legally changed his name to Tony
Moses Walker. He founded Tenacious Music Company and
F&T Music Company, promoting upcoming performers.
Some of his affiliations were, BMI Music and ASCAP. Al-
though, he had other employment, his passion was music.

ways the best for them.
